With an implied negative script and a New England defense that is tougher against the run, Cousins should have to shoulder the load in a positive matchup. He has 2nd most pass attempts this season and ranks 5th in yards. Both teams rank in the top ten in most plays/gm with approximately 65.

Winston averages 26 fantasy points in his two home appearances this season. This home matchup as dogs should keep Winston plenty busy in this potential shootout.

Melvin Gordon (MCL) will miss a few weeks. Justin Jackson may sprinkle in on some early-down work, but Ekeler will be the main back here. The Chargers average over 9 targets per game to RBs, which is in Ekeler’s wheelhouse. Ekeler’s passing role will keep him script proof, especially if the implied negative script holds.

WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) has been ruled out for week 13. Chris Godwin also makes for a solid value option with Jackson now out for 3900/5400 on DK/FD, respectively.

All Ram WRs are in play, but Reynolds is a cheap way to get a piece of this high-powered offense.
